MGM Mirage might face bankruptcy filing

By HOWARD STUTZ
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

MGM Mirage, the Strip's biggest casino operator and the state's largest private employer, could be facing a bankruptcy filing if it can't renegotiate better repayment terms with its lenders covering some $7 billion in loans.

In a filing Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company that operates 10 Strip resorts and is building the massive $9.1 billion CityCenter, said it was discussing various waivers or amendments with its lenders.

MGM Mirage said it would be in default under its senior secured credit facility if it can not negotiate a better repayment structure. The action could filter down and put all of MGM Mirage's debt, which totals roughly $13.5 billion, into default.

In the filing, the company blamed the recession and the steep drop in consumer spending at casinos for its concerns about not being able to make its debt payments.

Why are there so many whiners about negative news here? You are not where you live. Don't take it so personally. That kind of tribalism only makes the community look bad.

Yeah, I posted the "Greed" thread. I'm also one of the hundreds of people whose jobs were eliminated at MGM MIRAGE. My thread basically asked if greed - the building and/or acquisition of many casinos - were to blame for the massive debt these casinos have amassed and whether de-consolidation or the selling of assets may be key to their financial trouble.

On the flip side, though, if MGM MIRAGE didn't expand in the first place, then I may not have had the job I had with the company. My time with MGM MIRAGE was the happiest time of my professional life (thus far) and would re-join the company in a quick minute if they had a job available for me.

I hope the company works out their financial difficulty as the people there really do care about their employees.
